Re: Why Kerry is going to win. The Great Motorcycle Prophet speaks

While you are out and about at those colleges, pay attention to their perspective on promoting diversity. You will see that political correct crap spewed from every orifice on campus. I taught at a university for ten years I never saw a more homogenous body of thought. They were about a diverse as a KKK rally. Yeah, there was diversity of facial features but precious little divergent thinking going on behind the faces. I see those institutions creating a rift in society similar to the civil war days. We/they doesn't work. We are we. I see very few political parasites promoting a cohesive move forward for our society. You go ahead and enjoy your election. Be involved. But please at least consider the possibility that there might just be a few Republicans out there who are worth listening to. And, god forbid, there might even be better alternatives for our country that this divisive two party system. So, mister college man, how does it feel being part of the old guard establishment?

Re: Why Kerry is going to win. The Great Motorcycle Prophet speaks

I certainly don't mind you asking but, since the organization where I now work has entered in to cooperative agreements with that university, I hope you can appreciate my CYA attitude. So, that good school will remain a mystery. I taught Strategic Planning in an MBA program.

It's good to hear from another person in the center. What an uncomfortable place to sit with all of this mudslinging going on. I agree that there is not much of a free discussion of issues back and forth. For that to occur, there needs to be as much listening as there is commenting. Those "yelling" shows contain only diametrically opposed forces that are not concern with a mutual exchange of anything more that insults and finger pointing. So much for progress.

BTW, Kpaul's response to me has a few good points. He just gets a bit wound up and that can drive the polarity machine even harder.
